CPAN::Reporter 1.00 released

I'm pleased at announce that CPAN::Reporter 1.00 has been released and should soon be appearing on a CPAN mirror near you. Now, anyone with CPAN and a relatively modern version of Perl can contribute to CPAN Testers.

Version 1.00, combined with CPAN.pm 1.92 or better, provides several major enhancements over the 0.XX series. From the Changes file:

Added support for reporting for *.PL and make/Build stages; bumped
CPAN.pm prerequisite to 1.9203 to take advantage of this support

Added support for the forthcoming Test::Harness 3.00

Changed the name and format of the history file of sent reports to
track history by PL/make/test phase. Old history.db will be automatically
upgraded to new reports-sent.db.

Moved 'cc_author' and 'send_duplicates' options from interactive to
advanced (manual) configuration; defaults are strongly recommended

Bumped Test::Reporter prereq to 1.34 for transport() method and set
default transport to Net::SMTP on all platforms

Anyone using an older version of CPAN::Reporter is strongly
encouraged to upgrade.

A note to module authors -- CPAN::Reporter is getting smarter about handling prerequisite failures and unsupported Perl versions or platforms. But there are best practices you can follow to make this easier. See Author Notes on the CPAN Testers Wiki for more details.

easy to pin down too.
